Just looking for any suggestions for my final list of schools before submitting primary. Any help is appreciated!
My application:
MCAT: 512 (July 2016), 503 (July 2015)
cGPA 3.95, sGPA 3.96
WI resident, ORM (white), attended smaller WI liberal arts school
1000 hrs clinical experience (scribing at a large inner city hospital)
250 hrs biochemistry research, no pubs
~100 hrs community service between a variety of clubs
Involved in several ECs during college including NCAA athletics and two musical ensembles
Just started a year-long position with AmeriCorps working in public health in a rural setting
Also, I finished undergrad in 3 years if that's worth anything.
My school list looks like this right now, would like to get between 15 and 20 schools
UW
MCW
USC
UCSD
Loma Linda
Miami-Miller
Florida
Iowa
Rosy Franklin
Michigan
Oakland
Mayo
Minnesota
St. Louis
UNC
Wake Forest
Creighton
Dartmouth
Brown
Rochester
Ohio State
Cincinnati
Wright State
Penn State
VCU
Marshall
Several Texas schools including TCOM (I'm almost done with my TMDSAS application)
Are some out of my reach? Do I have too many reaches, need more safeties? Would some DOs be recommended?
Note: I'll be a reapplicant to UW and MCW after a blunderful application cycle last year. Advising at my school was horrible, so I thought I could get away with only applying to three schools. Got an II from UW, rejected post secondary from MCW, and was accepted at LECOM. Feel free to tell me I'm an idiot for declining the LECOM acceptance but I didn't get it until a month ago and had already made up my mind since I didn't like the school and retaken the MCAT.
